The Packit fell in with two Danish Privateers off the coast of Jupand, nne:of , which, (having, on board 40 men) she chased on shore, When the crew all forsook, her,. and fled up,the coun try. . Capt. HAMILTON would have destroyed her, had not the delay which would have attended such tto undertaking been inconsistent with his duty. A short Bulletin from Stockholm states, that the Swede have been successful in an affair near Ulea,' burg, and have taken a General Officer and 27 other Officers, 200 men killed, and 400 made prisoners; but this is all counterbalanced by the miserable busi ness of Sweaberg, of which there is nothing new by this post.

On the 7th, in the morning, I weighed anchor and stood for Mushaga, where I arrived at g o'clock, but was prevented by the ice from proceedingffirtheito thelsiorth. I had already before my arrival sent orders to the Corn missioner ISLENBRR6, in Dogerby„ to seize on all boats which the Enemy might make use of to cross over to Finland, and that he should Immediately join ine on my arrival at that station. ',I repeated this order from Mushaga, -nod, as I understood that he dispatched all the Enemy's orders, and was there fore a dangerous person, I ordered the peasants to arrest, and bring him on board my Ship, in case that he Should not immediately comply with my above order. The peasants accordingly apprehended the above Commissioner, and brought him on 'board the latter, where he is now confined, together with several other Public Officers of Kumling, who applied themselves to procure provisions for* the enemy's troops. Having intercepted orders from the Russian Commander in Kumling, to the Russian Officer commanding in ,Oland immediately to re treat with his troops, I adopted the resolution to proceed with my division to Kurnling, and came to an anchor off that Island at twelve o'clock at noon, At three'o'clock in the afternoon I received a report that the' peasants in Oland, in consequence of my • approach, .took up arms, 'and rendered themselves . masters of all the Rpssian troops in Oland,. both Officers and men, excepting a Major of Cossacks, and a few men who have not yet been taken. Hav ing a s certained the' strength of the Enemy's Corps in Kumling, .consisting of 660 men, I sent a Flag of Truce and summoned them. to surrender; the RUS elan Colonel, WosuTcH, who commands' the corps, has, however, hitherto refused to submit. I have under his eyes taken a large Yacht, - and sunk several soats on.the East side of the Island, and ordered•the peasants to seize upon the Eneny's powder maga zine, and conduet the Rnssiau prisoners of War, under a strong escort, to Grislehaven.

He led the Band himself with hii usual ability, and the Orchestra was filled with distin guished Performers. The vocal department was sustained by CATALANI, Mrs. O'MoRAN, ROVE DINO, Stun NI, and NALDi. The-Merits of all, these Performers, except Mrs. O'MOIIA N, are well known to the Public, and need no eulooium. Mrs: O'Mo- RAN never sung at an open eoncert before. She possesses a powerful voice, of considerable compass; and pleasing, intonation. Coming in ituthediate mita& with so:great a singer as CATALANI, she suf fered somewhat by unavoidable comparis'on ; but she deservedly obtained .much applause, and when her taste is more refined by pratlice, will rank with our best Vocal Performers.--CATALANI was finely in voice. Her " 11 crado•Amorc," with variations, was a wonderful.specimen of execution. Nothing could be More distinti, as wed as rapid, than her chromatic passages ; and in "Ah Superb)" there was an expression of energy. and grandeur, hardly . ever heard before. GNIBSIIACH and Yantawicz, in their respeetive.Concertos on the Oboe and Via.: lin, manifested the powers of the instruments with extraordinary skill. The Concerts under the di realon of Mr. SALOMON have always been Classed with the very best which this Country has ever known, and the general excellence of last night fully' maintained the credit of his high professional cha rader. We had no room yesterday, to notice the Benefit of BELLAMY, which took place on WednesdaY last ' at Covent Garden. Theatre. He is so respectable in private life as well as in his profession, that we were glad to witness a good house. The-Thy waS The, Znglish Fleet. BELLAMY took the part originally performed by BRAIIAM i and acquitted himself throughout very ably. He gave the airs with man ly expression and good taste, and supported the cha-, raaer with considerable ability. Ho was ably sup ported by Mra.Thcs.oars in STOBACE'S part. Many of the Songs were encored, and the whole was very well received: The- Farce was The Irishman in. London ; and a new Performei appeared for the first time in the cliaraiiter of Illurtoch Delany : his name we understand to be DON NE. There 'was a strong expression of original htimotir in his manner, arid he was perfeklly at home in the Irish diale6t.— •, He sung two airs, which were,well received, and al together displayed much meter MeriLihan .could. - be expeded in a novice, or,in those who are usually brought forward to give attratliOn to benefit nights.

It is needless to specify the several cha- meters in which .her die& was conspicuous, as 'her talents: have so long been known and admired by the Public. But it ihonld he mentione4 as a proof" of that good sense which has invariably . - marked her conduct-in public and- in priVate, that when advanc- , ing years approached, she did not, with the silly sa nity that is too prevalent among the votaries of the Stage of both sexes, wish to retain those charaelees which more properly devolVe on .youthful tandi date& for public- titvour, but conformed to the pro.; gross of time, and readily adopted such' as•were suitable to the period Aline at which she had arriv ed.

It has been observed that a-se rious Address would have been more suitable to the occasjdn ; but it was not l%er business to depress her friends, and she was probably afraid to trust her own feelings : she therefore assumed a spirit calculated to leave .a pleasing impression on the public. mind, and retired amidst repeated 'bursts of applause—the due tribute of general esteem and admiration. • On Friday the tith ult. the Officers and Non cormnissioned Officers, Drummers and Privates of his Majesty's Regiment of Cuper Vile Volunteer infantry, commanded by Colonel Wamyss, of We myss Hall, 'volunteered and enrolled themselves to become a Re,,,oiment of f acal Militia for Fifeshire.
